A fire for

a common human and evangelical journey from Rom life

A fire for

sharing pastoral and human experiences

A fire for

Ecumenism of service, interreligious dialogue, solidarity and reflection

A fire

To recognize and assume the differences of its members in a fraternal and joyful communion

In recent days, within a short span of time, three beloved figures of the C.C.I.T. and of the Romani and Gypsy communities have definitively laid down their lives and are now with us in the light that never dies.

  • Father Stanislaw, who for years led the Romani Pastoral Ministry in Poland, died in a tragic car accident;
  • Little Sister Maria Pia, one of the first members of the C.C.I.T. and a member of the Council of Wise, and Fernanda Reis, who for years led and later served as a collaborator in the Gypsy pastoral ministry in Portugal,  crowned a long life of ecclesial service through their illness.

We remember them together,
just as they would have wished, with gratitude and in prayer.

THE MISSION OF CCIT

Objectives of the association

It is a place for meeting, reflection, exchange and mutual enrichment.

By defining itself as a place for sharing pastoral and human experiences, the CCIT’s vocation is to inspire, to arouse an ever-renewed attention that is adapted to the concrete situation and does not have as its aim the elaboration of humanitarian or pastoral projects. It is within the vocation of the universal Church, to which the Gospel calls us.

CCIT relashionships

Autonomous in its functions and relations, the CCIT maintains, in friendship, a collaboration with the Dicastery for the Service of Integral Human Development with several Bishops’ Conferences and chaplaincies in each country.
